The event allows residents and non-residents to enjoy the outstanding fishing Alabama has to offer without purchasing a fishing license. Free Fishing Day is part of National Fishing and Boating Week, which runs June 1-8.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cFrom the Gulf of America to our mountain streams, our state has world-class waters that anglers from far and wide travel to enjoy,\u201d\u00a0said Gov. Ivey. \u201cFree Fishing Day is a great opportunity to enjoy the unmatched natural beauty of our state while also supporting our state\u2019s economy. I encourage all Alabamians to take advantage of this day \u2013 so, grab your tackle box and enjoy our Alabama the Beautiful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The fishing license exemption on Free Fishing Day covers most public waters including both freshwater and saltwater. Alabama\u2019s State Public Fishing Lakes still require a fishing permit on Free Fishing Day, and fishing in a private pond requires the pond owner\u2019s permission. Some piers may also require fees and permits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This year, Academy Sports + Outdoors will be the title sponsor of Alabama\u2019s Free Fishing Day. The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources will contact Alabama fishing license buyers and post a discount offer for the free fishing day weekend on their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.outdooralabama.com\/social\"><span class=\"s2\">social media accounts<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cFishing provides many mental and physical health benefits and is a great way for families to spend time together outdoors,\u201d\u00a0said Chris Blankenship, commissioner of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.\u00a0\u201cFree Fishing Day is the perfect opportunity for anyone who has never experienced casting a line to give it a try. We hope that anyone with an interest in fishing will take advantage of this outdoor recreation opportunity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Free Fishing Day also takes place during Alabama\u2019s red snapper season. Saltwater anglers will not need a saltwater fishing license or reef fish endorsement on June 7.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWith more than 132,000 miles of freshwater rivers and streams, 50 miles of Gulf Coast shoreline, 23 state public fishing lakes, some of the best bass fishing lakes in the country and\u00a0the largest artificial reef systems in the world, Alabama is an angler\u2019s paradise,\u201d\u00a0said Commissioner Blankenship.\u00a0\u201cEven if you don\u2019t fish, you can still enjoy the state\u2019s many freshwater and coastal boating access areas.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<div class=\"zox-post-ad-wrap\"><span class=\"zox-ad-label\">Advertisement.
